Sonic and Snake being added in Brawl meant a lot to the series because for the first time non-Nintendo characters were a part of Smash. They later paved the way for other big 3rd party characters to join the roster such as Mega Man, Pac-Man, Ryu, Cloud, Steve (who literally broke the internet with his reveal) and recently Sora. I never would’ve imagine we would get all those characters in a single game.

[@zoomzike]

*FAQ:* I'm sure some people are gonna have questions about a few things, so I decided to preemptively answer them below! Q: What determined the order of characters shown? A: Sakurai, the Smash series' director, assigned each character with a number that identifies when they joined the roster. I followed this official source strictly, only deferring from it when it came to Echo Fighters, which I placed in their proper chronological spot like with everyone else so nothing's out of order. Q: Why did you use x clip as a character reveal? (And not y?) A: When a character didn't have an official, public reveal trailer, I decided to show a clip of the closest thing they had to one in-game. Q: Where did you find that AWESOME animation at the end with the updated mural? A: I took the final mural and attempted to match it to the original one's "Everyone is here" animation as _close_ as humanely possible. I'm overjoyed with how it turned out!

[@BeDatAPickle]

[@rafaelluciano5596]

This is perfectly understandable. I do believe much of the melee newcomers did have reveals before the cinematic and in game content that's more in line with the style of brawl reveals. I think this is in the extra movies section of the GameCube disc itself and uses some beta game asset footage too.

[@RS-rz4ll]

Love the thumbnail!

[@oliverorchard6774]

I always thought that the other reason for the number order of characters in the game was to do with the order of which games series came out first. This changes however when the character is not revealed before the game's release or they were released in a later smash bros game, hence why mr game and watch and pac man are much bigger numbers, depsite being the oldest game characters in smash.

[@serenityskyeVT]

To this day I still believe Sonic was the most hype and ground breaking reveal. It showed us just how unbound this series was. That was the day we realized ANYONE could get into smash.

[@SageArdor]

Made even more intense when it came to light he was added solely due to fan demand. They pushed back Brawl's release just to fit him in the game.

[@Hevenlee]

That's fair as what Sonic making it in represented at the time, I'm not sure if many will agree but I think Sora's inclusion definitely is a fine successor to that experience because of the hoops, trials and obstacles that was the undertaking of his inclusion. In the modern day he really was that IMPOSSIBLE character, mirroring Sonic.

For me the biggest "Smash Reveal" moment was Lucas in Brawl.

[@jerryc5716]

You unlocked a memory that had been lost for so long. Brawl was a very special time for fighter reveals.

[@mathewricafrente5984]

Seeing all these Smash reveal trailers made me realize that this series has come a long way from having only 12 fighters to now over 80. And it's insane that Smash Ultimate ended with Sora, a character partially owned by DISNEY, as the final character in the game, but I think it was a good final character that got me excited, even if I've never played a KH game. Better cherish this entire roster, especially the 3rd party ones, because if another Smash Bros games gets revealed in the next 5 years, we'll most likely never see most of them again.

You know, all the fancy trailers are nice and all, but to me no reveal can compare to seeing the silhouette of Mewtwo appear on the Challenger Approaching screen in Melee. This was still at the height of the original Pokémania wave, and Mewtwo was still considered one of the most powerful Pokémon out there (hyped up even more by the first movie). So when me and my brother saw him appear on screen, we totally freaked out! At that time and place of our childhood, there couldn’t have been a better secret character than that.

[@brianodonnell4496]

Even for another Smash game, there could be other Pokemon could be Echo fighters, when the female(Leaf) could have Charmander, Wartortle and Venasaur. And then, a rival trainer(Blue) have Bulbasaur, Charmeleon and Blastoise. And then, Greninja and Incineroar could be obtained by other Pokemon Trainers from all generations of the series.

[@eduardogomez4275]

Even if I watched the heavily edited American version of the first Pokémon movie, I liked Mewtwo, and I mained him (I know Mewtwo's technically an "it", but semantics) even though he was too hard to master in Melee. I really hated when he was excluded from Brawl (on the upside I got my main Wario), so when I watched the announcement for Mewtwo's return for Smash 4 I really lost it. Needless to say, I lost it again when he was the first Pokémon character revealed for Ultimate, and he's easily my secondary fighter.

Sm4sh, in hindsight, feels like a proto-Ultimate based on the newcomers. I remember that the first reveal that truly hyped me up was PAC-Man. I didn’t think it was possible from a moveset standpoint, but it blew me away. When the DLC ended, I couldn’t help wondering what could possibly be next. Welp, 2016 me would be in for a shock. I was FLOORED by Ultimate’s reveal, and kept up with the whole thing ever since. Ridley? Awesome. Steve? Never thought I’d see the day. Sora? Seriously, HOW DID THEY DO IT??

Back in 2008 I’ve always seen the Brawl roster as a huge list of characters. It’s crazy to think that 40+ fighters feel like very little in 2021 when you put it next to Ultimate or even Smash 4.

[@darkshadow1012]

@@CR_250 I know huh crazy

[@beauwalker9820]

@@CR_250 Brawl actually introduced many characters I wanted sense the N64 & Melee days. Like Kid Icarus, (because his trophy/game looked cool, but sadly I didn't play it yet) Meta Knight, (yes, I'm a Kirby fan who remembered him, and loved his trophy) Wario, and being a StarFox64 fan, I wanted Star Wolf too. (He actually cameos in Melee's intro starting rumors he was in Melee. Sadly, he didn't even get a trophy, aside from his ship.) So Brawl was pretty cool for me back then, despite the tripping, and difficult online players.

[@J_dnvg]

Man. Just seeing all of these once again back to back. This series really was something special. Also, something i love most in some of these trailers is just...seeing characters from different series just...duke it out and hanging out. Also...subspace, and the Palutana, Lucina, and MinMin trailers really just make me wanna see a Smash Tv Show, Anime or Movie.

[@SueZQue83]

I’ll never forget the memories of the internet absolutely imploding whenever characters were announced

[@beauwalker9820]

I like how you included 64's and Melee's intros, because they were many's first introductions to the series. I remember Melee's intro started rumors all over the internet that Ridley, Wolf O'Donnell, and Samurai Goroh (all of whom cameo briefly) were "secret/unlockable characters" in the game. I remember being a little disappointed it had Falco instead, (big StarFox64 fan as a kid) but at least it allowed Wolf to get a more different moveset for Brawl & Ultimate. I remember being one of the few whom was already familiar with Mr. Game & Watch, because I played "Game & Watch Gallery 2" on Gameboy before. I remember trying to find Ice Climbers in used game stores, and such too. Finally had to get it via E-Reader on GBA. And falling in love with the game. (After getting used to it's jump physics.) SSB helped get me into many great games I never would of tried otherwise. Starting with Earthbound, and Super Metroid.

[@cotmproductions8550]

Out of all of the characters introduced to Smash, Joker will always remain my favorite fighter revealed to the series.

[@CuteAndFunnyFan]

Of all of these Joker surprised me the most.

[@tatertot64]

Joker and Cloud were some of the biggest surprises among all of these reveals.

[@revolvingworld2676]

For me it was Joker. Yeah Cloud was suprising but Cloud is already a videogame icon so his inclusion wasn't TOO suprising for me.

[@CheeseTank12]

Joker had 2 trailers with the PT V.Actors as well as the 1st to have a non Nintendo studio make the trailer & have custom finisher screens(3 in 3 variants & all out attack display being 10 in total)

Great job with this dude. I have so much memories during my middle school, to highschool, to college and now as an adult working with smash utimate! Smash really became a childhood gaming franchise for many people! From these trailers and reveals, im glad you put the effort of doing this for us smash fans. I hope this aint the last smash game forever but it would be nice to see the roster goes up to 100 characters. Who knows! Sakurai deserves a long rest.

[@hawaiianbrownies]

64 was a legendary beginning, Melee was godly in it's inclusion and gameplay, Brawl was dope upgrade and had by far the best adventure mode

[@SiveenO]

Man, as a kid who'd just finished Metal Gear Solid 2, seeing Snake in Brawl made me go wild. Man, as an adult who's been a fan of Kingdom Hearts since he was a kid, seein Sora in Ultimate made me go wild.

[@Lukeradle]

I grew up with smash 64. It was one of the first n64 games I’ve ever had and this series holds a deep, dear place in my heart. Melee was my first GameCube game, brawl was my most highly anticipated. I unfortunately never bought a Wii U so I never owned smash 4, either on 3ds. But when ultimate was released, I made that my first switch game. The roster, stages, items, music, AUTHENTICITY and integrity each of these games had for every asset is incomprehensible. Even though I was never a ‘competent’ smash player, even by some casual standards, this series has shaped me and so many many other people worldwide.

[@thx4chrckingin]

From the last remaining flame reviving Mario, to him just straight up yeeting it and having it be revealed as the Keyblade, to Sora's mere entrance into the world of Smash reviving all the fighters from what might as well be their deaths, to the GODDAMN HANDSHAKE that brings back memories of the Ryu/Cyclops handshake of X-Men vs Street Fighter...it's just wonderful. Absolutely wonderful.
